Rework the current armor system.#26587

Although its pretty decent right now, i believe there are a couple of topics that require major improvments.
Firstly, i believe the hazmat suit is overpowered. it shouldnt be used as an armor but as a suit that possible reaching raddiated areas, therefore i believe the should have 20% damage protection at most, as it right now just another alternative for middle tier armor, while it shouldnt be that way.
Moreover, increase coffecan helmet damage resistence to 40%. This way the roadsign armor will be a decent middle tier between wodden armor and high quallity armor.

I also have several suggestions that may be intresting to look at as well:

-make the riot helmet have 30% damage protection instead of 20% making it more useful.
-make the bandana a default item.
-make the bucket helmet a deafult item.

I believe those improvements can make a major diffrence on the current state of rust and make it more focused on survival than combat.

The Bandana is a default item, but there seems to be some sort of bug where if you don’t have one in your inventory on Steam, then you can’t craft them. Unless that’s what you meant.

Thats what i meant

bandana is not a default item if it where facepunch would have fixed that long ago

As a player who owns the item i think its gives a certain advantage over other players. It should be a default item in my opinion but thats a really unimportant anacdote.
